Is Minnesota Racist?

[BOTSLAYER]

I mean, maybe it is all kosher but the only guy who kind of has a tan has to stand in the shadows and their slogan and jerseys are kind of fishy too.

 

[Brahmsian]

There is no place in the entire world totally free of racism. Nor is there any real evidence of Minnesota being guiltier than the rest of the USA.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

No, but you might be gay.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

Why? Because they have a few white players?

So are NBA teams with only 1 white guy racist against whites?

Ignorant thread

 

[trojanfan12]

No, but you might be gay.

He "might" be?

Would it surprise you guys if the owner of the Wolves requests that as many white players fill the starting line up as possible? Would it surprise you if the fans in Minnesota preferred to see white players over black?

and what is wrong with this ^^^ his team he can do what he wants

 

[broncosmitty]

I usually associate NBA white boys with Utah and Indy. I associate Minny with NBA shittyness not racism. Could be something worth readressing though.

He can do what ever he wants but skin color seems like a poor way to decide anything.

It'd be a sure sign that they're tanking too!!

The franchise has a 39.7% winning percentage. They're doin' somethin' wrong up there in the most educated city in America.

well thats a whole different ball of wax ... no one ever said that they were good

I think you are trying to argue the side that judging based on skin color is an acceptable practice, not sure if serious.


With out getting too serious here...if there is something fishy with either the owner/gm or fans then it is a huge issue imo. It is a sign how far behind people and their society are when compared with where they should be.

In the end I just think all people should live and let live and enjoy each other's company. We are little more than a bacteria colony on a flying rock going through a universe we are not even close to understanding. Each other is all we have in this crazy world that doesn't add up to a hill of beans.

I never said he should not hire white guys, I said that hiring or firing players, people etc based on skin color, race or religion is wrong.

Rooting for people based on those qualities is also wrong.

I understand rooting for people you identify with, but using that criteria to identify with people is not conducive to a positive culture. We all bleed red, except predator, he bleeds radioactive green and is systematically hunting us so...yea, hating him seems natural, unless you are yourself a hunter, then you should understand Predator's position.

I seriously doubt it and I believe it has more to do with the geographic area. Most of the african americans I know tend to settle in larger states and cities then where the Timberwolves are located and dislike smaller towns. Besides that they did have Kevin Garnet on their roster for years
